Drift Fleet: IC Inbox

[A catch-all for privately contacting Hiro outside of posts on the network.]

[ Awwwwww .... ]

I'd say that's more than being okay with it.

it was a little harder to take the compliment knowing what he still hasn't been told about, but it still felt pretty good.

For what it's worth, I don't think knowing all of that would change his mind about what you're doing.

it's not really the being-good-with-the-superhero-stuff i'm worried about him rethinking. more the "hero" thing.

[ Baby ... :( ]

I know. I meant what I said.

Being a hero doesn't mean being perfect, Hiro.

he never would have done the things i did. more than try to hurt someone, i used baymax to do it. the bot my brother wanted to create to help millions of people.

You don't know that.

[ She's pretty sure if anything happened to Hiro, Tadashi would flip his shit, too ]

And even if it wasn't something he would have done -- that doesn't make what you are today any less.

... yeah. i just hope he doesn't get disappointed.

[ ... Well. ]

If he thinks that's disappointing, he's not gonna be too happy with me, either. If it's any consolation.

I'm sure he knows that grief makes us do things we regret.

i still have to figure out the right time to tell him.

I don't know that there's ever a "right" time to talk about that sort of thing.

that's probably why it hasn't come up yet.

I'm sure he'll understand, Hiro. Maybe not right away, but -- he can't fault you for having emotions.

Do you know what my team and I did after my teacher was killed?

it's gory, isn't it.

The people responsible are very, very dead.

Now, they just happened to be international criminals who would have been a danger to everyone if they hadn't been stopped, but -- I specifically requested to help. I went against the orders I was given to make sure I was there to help carry it out.

... so what did you do to them?

We killed them.

Well, as much as they could be killed, anyways. One of them is technically immortal, but he's in pieces and buried ten feet under.

[ She'll leave out the part where she also helped kill them AGAIN during the war hahahaha ]

... that's pretty hardcore.

[and dark, which is the point here.]

It is what it is. And I won't pretend like I didn't get any closure out of it, either.

Point being -- feeling the way you did isn't uncommon or strange. And in the end, that experience made you a better person.

it did. and i stopped callaghan from making the same mistake.

And you helped others. Like he would have wanted.

... yeah. i think i need to tell him soon.

It's hard, holding on to something like that for that long.

yeah, it is.

Well, if you do decide to tell him -- at least the air will be clear, for real this time.
